@NPR Hate to say it but among older #Asians, #groupthink is the norm. No one is allowed or encouraged to think "outside the box" so #voting is futile. Among Japanese (and I suspect other Asian cultures) the party line is "shigata-ga nai" (can't be helped) or, colloquially, "shit happens." #Asians invented, "go along to get along." That's why I've never fit in with other Asians.

So why then are scientists resistant to new theories? Because the hurdles of proof are quite high. Big Think elaborates: https://flip.it/9yRLcJ #Science#Scientist#GroupThink#Psychology
